[ He honestly wasn't expecting Zeno to show up. What kind of a complete fool walks into such an obvious trap? Still, just to be cautious Jay's been hiding in the hollow of a long-dead giant tree, comfortable in the cool nest of detritus.
The soft covering of leaves on the ground muffles Zeno's steps, but then he's considerate enough to call out. Jay doesn't move at first, listening intently to determine where, exactly, Zeno is, the direction of the wind through all those lovely rustling leaves high in the canopy, signs of any other people nearby...
Perfect.
In a single smooth movement Jay rolls up onto the balls of his feet, head and shoulders popping up above the softly rotten edge of the old stump just behind Zeno. There's a quick whistle of metal through air, and that's the only warning Zeno gets as Jay flings a heavy kitchen knife right at the base of his skull. ]
